NFL’S #WINNING NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM POLICY: A decision from NFL owners requiring players to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” if they are on the field when the anthem is played has triggered an intense reaction from supporters and opponents, as one owner revealed that he abstained from the vote … Commissioner Roger Goodell said the change was approved unanimously at the league’s spring meeting in Atlanta. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told Fox News in an email that San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York was the only abstention. The NFL’s anthem policy change is a victory for President Trump, who repeatedly blasted players who refused to stand for the anthem and publicly reminded league executives about the league’s withering ratings. Vice President Mike Pence, who left a game between the 49ers and Indianapolis Colts this past October after some 49ers knelt during the anthem, tweeted a link to a news story about the policy change with the phrase, “#Winning.”

The irony of the NFL owners’ action is that *they have now hyper-politicized the anthem, for not just every black player and ally, but every potential anthem singer or Super Bowl halftime performer. That few minutes before a game will now look like a forced nationalistic display.
